The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown.
The rising of the Sun
And the running of the deer,
The twining of the ivy and the
Crying of the bright new year.
The holly and the ivy
And the lying of the Earth,
The yielding of the blessed womb and
The giving of the birth.
The rising of the Sun .........
The holly and the ivy
And the glowing of the red,
The blazing of the berries and the
Shining of the golden head.
The rising of the Sun .........
The holly and the ivy
And the glowing of the green,
The warming of our blessed Lady
And the flowing of the stream.
The rising of the Sun .........
The holly and the ivy,
All the red and all the green,
Great Father Sun and sweet Mother Earth,
Ever blessed King and Queen.
The rising of the Sun
And the running of the deer,
The twining of the ivy and the
Crying of the bright new year.
